The Regional Direction of Health of Huanuco (DIRESA) got a total of 28,800 vaccines against pneumococcus, cause of infections like pneumonia or meningitis, from the Ministery of Health (MINSA).
Heriberto Hidalgo Carrasco, director of DIRESA, stressed that the batch of vaccines will decrease the number of cases of respiratory diseases, and deaths related to pneumonia.
DIRESA Huanuco received also a batch of vaccines against rotavirus and pediatric influenza. Immunization against pneumonia requires three doses: the first one at three-month-old age, the second one at five-month-old, and the last one at one-year old age.
Finally, Hidalgo informed that in the following days a workshop will be given to analyze a research on maternal mortality, chronic child malnutrition, transmissible infectious diseases and TB.
